Maize (2016)
Maize cobbles together a solid adventure from its surreal premise, passive storytelling and labyrinthine environments, but those who enjoy offbeat humour will reap most of the rewards.
Her Majesty’s SPIFFING (2016)
Packed with puns but short on plot or perplexing puzzles, Her Majesty’s SPIFFING‘s intense Britishness will either amuse or confuse, but either way it’s more of a teatime crumpet than a regal banquet.
1979 Revolution: Black Friday (2016)
1979 Revolution is one of those rare games that has aims and aspirations beyond simply “being fun”. Despite its legitimate historical importance, its brevity and limited gameplay make it feel more like part of a historical anthology rather than a complete experience on its own.
The A.B.C. Murders (2016)
The A.B.C. Murders will hardly tax the little grey cells, but a pleasing visual style and charismatic lead protagonist make this Agatha Christie adaptation more than merely child’s play. Just keep the sound volume low.
2064: Read Only Memories (2015)
Though let down by weak gameplay, Read Only Memories is one of the most human games available this year, which is remarkable for a cyberpunk game dealing with robots and transhumanism.
Kholat (2015)
Particularly for a first-time developer, Kholat is a well-done attempt at a horror game, though one that is nonetheless marred by a couple of shortcomings. In terms of atmosphere, it absolutely nails the chilling setting it goes for, but provides little gameplay and only a lackluster story to accompany it.
The Adventures of Bertram Fiddle: Episode 1 - A Dreadly Business (2014)
More quirky than funny, A Dreadly Business is by no means spectacular, but nor does it do anything wrong, settling for being a solid, well-made debut episode.
Among the Sleep (2014)
An original and promising concept left unfulfilled by disappointing gameplay, Among the Sleep is recommended only to those who want to experience a unique take on the horror genre.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief - Chapter Two: Ancestry of Lies (2013)
The story of The Raven continues to entertain, but the second chapter fails to reach the heights of the first, with a much shorter run time and a detour from what made the opening chapter so good.
The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief (2013)
A Murder of Ravens ends the story on a cheap note and doesn’t quite live up to the promise laid out in the opening, but it’s certainly more fun than the preceding chapter.
Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? (2022)
The acting is good and the central mystery is intriguing enough to want to see it through, but Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? isn’t able to rise above its repetitive nature and lack of any real gameplay to maintain interest all the way to the final unveiling.
Sable (2021)
Sable is a visually interesting game with a unique concept and setting, but uninspired gameplay, sparse characterization and a staggering number of technical issues prevent it from realizing most of its lofty goals.
7th Sector (2019)
An action-laced side-scrolling puzzler with just a hint of enigmatic story, 7th Sector’s clever and varied challenges are more fun than not, but it can be artificially difficult to reach an ending that still doesn’t provide many answers.
Night Lights (2019)
Night Lights is a cute side-scroller with a quick pace and unique gameplay that unfortunately is a bit too buggy and ends way too soon to stand among the better puzzle-platforming adventures.
Headspun (2019)
It has an interesting, thought-provoking story and takes an innovative approach in combining different gaming genres, but Headspun’s implementation is uneven and results in equal measures of fun and frustration.
Where the Bees Make Honey (2019)
Where the Bees Make Honey throws half a dozen different gameplay types at the wall, but with such an abbreviated play time very few of them are able to stick.
Night Call (2019)
Night Call is neither a great mystery nor a great cabbie simulator, but if you like dialogue and weird characters, this unique visual novel-style adventure is an interesting distraction.
The Occupation (2019)
There’s a fair bit of fun to be had sneaking about the workplace in this first-person fixed-time thriller at first, but The Occupation ends up overstaying its welcome due to some clumsy implementation.
The Council (2018)
Although the idea of blending role-playing elements with traditional adventure gaming sounds intriguing, The Council doesn’t do anything particularly interesting with either of them after a very strong introductory episode.
Another Sight (2018)
This unique blindness-themed side-scroller may be worth a look for fans of puzzle-platformers, but Another Sight ultimately just can’t stick the landing.
